SCENE 1 | At Hooper's Store, Biff wants to share a glass of chocolate milk with Sully. To ensure they both get an equal amount, Biff asks Mr. Hooper to draw a line around the middle of glass; Biff claims the top half of the drink as his and the bottom for Sully. Mr. Hooper and Linda try to explain how this might not work, but Biff ignores them and has Sully take the first sip. However, in order for Sully to get to his half, he needs to drink up Biff's, leaving an empty glass. |
